" i said, i think so, i cannot argue with the white house, i guess they're foundation is based on their intelligence. what i want to see which environment is very important, is that we have to make it clear that i hope the israeli government will do it that we're not going to stay gaza at the end of a military operation, we will pull out. we do not want to occupy gaza, it is not in our interest or our capacity to remain there for much longer. so he will take over _ remain there for much longer. so he will take over security _ remain there for much longer. so he will take over security at _ remain there for much longer. so he will take over security at the - remain there for much longer. so he will take over security at the end - will take over security at the end of this process?— will take over security at the end of this process?

first of all, i does that, more importantly? first of all. i think— does that, more importantly? first of all, ithink it— does that, more importantly? first of all, i think it is _ does that, more importantly? first of all, i think it is more _ does that, more importantly? f "st of all, i think it is more likely that hamas will be incapacitated, they will not be able to control and they will not be able to control and the result from the military operation would be devastating for them. following what i said, i think we have to pull out of gaza, knowing that no one from the arab side, who palestinians or the other arab countries who want to step into gaza instead of israel. i think there should be an international intervention force made of soldiers of nato countries but what i nato force, somewhat similar to what we did in the south of. the second war of which was very productive and helpful because it kept the entire region quite for 17 years so since we don't want really there, possible that the arabs or palestinians there should be for a period of a hero 18 months an international force that will keep it quieter as much as possible and to restore the severed frustration which will disappear as a result of the collapse of the months after the military operation. if that will happen i think it will establish the necessary basis for what will be the political process and as i said, i am not speaking for the urgent government, i am against the urgent government, i am against the government. i think the government should be replaced and the prime minister should retire today, tomorrow, anytime is good for israel. we will have to provide a political horizon if israel would provide a political horizon, i believe that the international forces in europe and america will have more patience for israel to complete the military operation but i can, i talk about weeks and a few weeks, not months and certainly not yours. weeks, not months and certainly not ours. . ~' weeks, not months and certainly not ours. . ~ , ., weeks, not months and certainly not ours. ., ~ i. ., weeks, not months and certainly not ours. ., ~ ., yours. thank you for coming programme _ yours. thank you for coming programme this _ yours. thank you for coming programme this evening. i yours. thank you for coming programme this evening. -- yours. thank you for coming - programme this evening. -- not programme this evening. —— not yours. —— not yours. for registration as a postal service to crossing the english channel in small votes and sail for the future legal challenges but but tonight, the immigration minister, robertjenrick supposed robert jenrick supposed police department robertjenrick supposed police department has resigned. that legislation is supposed to serve as a deterrent to those crossing the english channel in small boats, and it is designed to see of any future legal challenge. but tonight the immigration minister robertjenrick. has resigned. in his letter to the prime minister he says the bill as is, does not give the government the best chance of success. a bill of the kind you are proposing, he says, is a triumph of hope over experience the stakes for the country he goes on are too high for us not to pursue the stronger protections required to end the merry—go—round of legal challenges, this emergency legislation is the last opportunity to prove this, but in its current draughting he adds. it does not go far enough. which was very much the theme this afternoon, when recently sacked home secretary suella braverman — an ally of mrjenrick — addressed the house of commons. our political correspondent damian grammaticas joins us now. that slot has been through because we are still busy, let us talk about what he does not like, what is your post particularly?

he is resigning because the proposal does not i post particularly? he is resigning | because the proposal does not go post particularly? he is resigning - because the proposal does not go far enough he says, not because he disagrees the government sought to too much but because it is not doing enough to tackle this issue. the specific thing here is worried about, which suella braverman was his boss as the home secretary, she was kicked out by mr sunak a short time ago, both of them are concerned that they want local favourites individuals would have to pay legal challenges to be deported to. so block of the avenues of international human rights law and uk human rights. the some of that but does not go far enough. the problem for mr sunak is the government sees this as a crucial issue, important for controlling illegal emigration, what it calls illegal emigration, what it calls illegal immigration, regular arrival of asylum seekers and officials of the uk. it is important because there is a huge bill for dealing with at the huge s stuck in the system. the conservatives worry about the pressures that arrive the spring housing and schooling, whatever, and they also think this is an important electoral issue. by pursuing this mr sunak is in a position where there was the right of the party like robertjenrick arab state he's not going far enough, those on the left of most interest are deeply worried that the legislation is going to block off some of the human rights protections that the uk signed up to and say people cannot use that give ministers the power to disregard things from the european court of human rights if it says do not support someone. he human rights if it says do not support someone.— human rights if it says do not support someone. human rights if it says do not su ort someone. , , . ., support someone. he is very much at odds with the — support someone. he is very much at odds with the right _ support someone. he is very much at odds with the right of _ support someone. he is very much at odds with the right of his _ support someone. he is very much at odds with the right of his party, - odds with the right of his party, the prime minister, just another resignation of a minister, the immigration minister, does that precipitate another legal challenge —— reader challenge?

i'm afraid to say at that stage i gave it pretty short shrift because i thought that myjob was to protect human life. i had no other, i had no other tool, literally nothing else. sam power is senior lecturer in politics at the university of sussex. what did you learn?

this is very different to the last we saw - what did you learn? this is very i different to the last we saw during the privileges committee inquiry. he had a lot of time to prepare. this was quite a humble borisjohnson, with one eye on the headlines and what are your own his legacy and generally trying to think about ways to explain actions that were made in a way that's keeping a public to understand the complexity of the situation so it was a much different borisjohnson to what a lot of people are used to. boris johnson to what a lot of people are used to.— boris johnson to what a lot of people are used to. there was a lot of time spent _ people are used to. there was a lot of time spent on _ people are used to. there was a lot of time spent on why _ people are used to. there was a lot of time spent on why the _ people are used to. there was a lot of time spent on why the system i people are used to. there was a lot i of time spent on why the system was so slow to recognise how serious google it would be. the prime minister said he would like to have a scientific advice group on stage and the graphs presented to her which he admitted were baffling at times, do you think there needs to be a machinery of government going forward i could make decisions on issues like this more quickly? this issues like this more quickly? this is wh it issues like this more quickly? this is why it is — issues like this more quickly? this is why it is much _ issues like this more quickly? this is why it is much less _ issues like this more quickly? t'i s is why it is much less damaging to borisjohnson and his future prospects that the committee inquiry. because this is not a personalfailure or a party inquiry. because this is not a personal failure or a party for and actually the parties downing street, this was a wider institutional failure wager institutional questions to answered and asked about pandemic preparedness. it is clear from the evidence, notjust today, that there was not enough to heat up to to prepare us for this summer with the outcomes of the inquiry might be to think about how to future proof, how to think about what the next crisis might try to prevent the case of severe hearing about those early days such that perhaps we could be well prepared in the future. , . , perhaps we could be well prepared in the future. , , , , , the future. very briefly, i suppose the future. very briefly, i suppose the question _ the future. very briefly, i suppose the question was _ the future. very briefly, i suppose the question was not _ the future. very briefly, i suppose the question was not asked - the future. very briefly, i suppose the question was not asked today| the future. very briefly, i suppose i the question was not asked today but the question was not asked today but the inquiry, with the uk have coped better with a different prime minister?

we know the stats are disputed but there uk was further time in the list other countries in europe so perhaps with more detail orientated prime minister, it may have been a slightly different story. thank you ve much slightly different story. thank you very much for— slightly different story. thank you very much for that. _ slightly different story. thank you very much for that. we _ slightly different story. thank you very much for that. we will- slightly different story. thank you very much for that. we will talk. very much for that. we will talk about that in the second half. we're nearing the midway point of the united nations climate summit in dubai — with everything still in the balance. there is criticism that not enough is being accomplished. my colleague carl nasman is there for us in dubai. two countries, the second week but the un climate chief notjust by him to school so far?
